Do you think Guardians being able to revive takes away some of the impact of their death?

Yes

I'm mean from a Story perspective. I don't know why but this has always bothered me. Don't get me wrong, Guardians are super cool but when you know that even if they die they'll just come back makes them feel a little less cool in my eyes. I feel like it takes away the sense of danger when they fight. When a guardian dies permanently I'm just thinking to myself "How did you, an immortal, manage to -blam!- up so badly to the point where you died permanently?". I'm not saying you won't get the feels from their death, I'm just saying that having their ghost be able to revive them in most situation dulls their death a bit. Do give your reasoning for you choice. I would love to see some other perspective on this topic :) Edit: It seems most of you disagree, and provide some very interesting points. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

    Guardians die permanently. But only when something was capable of draining all their light, and destroying their ghost. This is an astounding feat for our enemies. Effectively, it's like us going into a hive throne to kill a God. If anything, it adds weight to their death. When a guardian like pahanin, Galadia, or thalor dies, it means they were destroyed completely. They weren't just overwhelmed, or incapacitated. They were eradicated. It's similar to Decapitating an immortal. Not an easy feat. But when completed, it reminds the others that they still have limitations
